In a correction (Lara et al. 2021) to a recent study on the immune-gene diversity of introduced population of dunnocks (Lara et al. 2020) the authors state that in 1868, 98 individuals were liberated in Otago region, New Zealand. This information is not precise-in fact, the total number was separated into two shipments, in both cases on board the Warrior Queen (Otago Daily Times 1868, 1871).
